Autorenporträt

Wilbur Gleason Zeigler may not be a household name in contemporary literary circles, but his contribution to the Marlovian theory of Shakespearean authorship is notable. Born at the tail end of the 19th century, Zeigler spent his life ardently exploring the intricacies of English literature. His most renowned work, 'It Was Marlowe', published in 1895, boldly asserts that Christopher Marlowe, not William Shakespeare, was the true author of the plays commonly attributed to Shakespeare. This claim sparked much scholarly debate and placed Zeigler among the proponents of one of the most controversial literary theories in history. Although 'It Was Marlowe' represents Zeigler's primary literary legacy, it reflects his broader contributions to the field of Elizabethan drama and authorship questions. Zeigler's literary style is characterized by methodical argumentation and historical speculation. Despite the predominant rejection of the Marlovian theory in academic circles, Zeigler's work continues to be of interest to those studying the history of Shakespearean scholarship and the broader cultural fascination with authorship and identity.
